Indulgent carbonara with speck, garlic, cream, and a crispy bread crumble.
Ingredients:
  • 400g dried thin spaghetti pasta
  • 400g piece speck, rind removed, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 70g (1 cup) fresh breadcrumbs (made from day‑old bread)
  • 1 large garlic clove, crushed
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley leaves
  • 4 eggs
  • 70g (1 cup) shredded parmesan, plus extra, to serve
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) double cream
Instructions:
  • Boil the pasta in a large saucepan of salted water according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pan.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the speck until crisp, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the speck to the cooked pasta using a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan. Toss breadcrumbs in the pan for 3-5 minutes until they turn golden. Add garlic and parsley, stirring for 30 seconds until aromatic. Place mixture in a bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the eggs and parmesan in a large jug, whisking until fully incorporated. Season with your favorite seasonings.
  • Pour the cream into the pasta mixture and gently heat over low flame. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes, making sure the cream is warmed but not overheated. Then, take it off the heat.
  • Combine the egg mixture with the pasta mixture, tossing vigorously until fully mixed. Return to low heat and keep tossing for 1 minute until the pasta is heated through. Be careful not to overcook to prevent scrambling the egg. Serve in bowls, topping with fried garlic bread crumble and extra parmesan.
